The Power of an Inclusive Mindset

1 Hour CAE

Speaker: Sylvia Gonner, CAE; CultureWiz

Let’s forget the Golden Rule our parents taught us: treat others the way you want to be treated. Living in our increasingly diverse environments requires us to instead use the Platinum Rule: treat others the way they want to be treated. That’s the first step in developing an inclusive mindset, a powerful asset to succeed in a world where diversity is everywhere and impacts everything.

Interacting with people from different races, genders, ages, nationalities and cultures is the norm whether at work, in our communities, or while traveling. Organizations are increasingly undertaking diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives as they understand the value of diversity. But what can we do on a personal level to develop the inclusive mindset needed to adapt and navigate our differences? This fun, interactive session will explore the habits we need to form to unlock the power of inclusion and thrive in a diverse world. Come prepared to be transformed and to become a champion for inclusion!
